lennybloom Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 hey all, i was browsing the citizenship website and came acorss the identity declaration requirement as seen at http://www.citizenship.gov.au/applying/files/pid_docs/occupations_list/ I do not know anyone from that list of designated list of occupants.. I am sure people in here would have had the same issue as well? What did u do instead? TIA Lenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Welcome to the forum Lenny. Do you have a bank account that is over a year old? If so there must be someone at the branch who has worked for the bank for 5 years. Any children at school, if so the teachers can probably do it.

Quinkla Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 If you are not known by anyone on the list, you can't apply for citizenship as you can't demonstrate your identity in the community. You would be well advised to find someone on that list and ensure that in a year's time, they would be able to vouch for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Lenny to apply for citizenship don't you have to have lived in Australia for ex amount of years, over this time you must have registered with a GP, bank etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencio Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Gosh, just read this! We're planning to move to Perth next year and are due to apply for citizenship in early 2016. That means as interstate migrants we'd get the same trouble due to not having a GP or someone else on the list to sign the identity requirement. Maybe get that done before we move or does it have to be 'brand new'? By the way I know many migrants without a GP and lets hope that the bank doesn't have high staff turnover!

I couldn't say anyone in my bank, drs etc knew me. I wouldn't know them if they slapped me in the face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine they'd remember that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzbound Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Do you have kids? What about their teacher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinkla Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Look, if you are in absolute desperation, you could contact a solicitors' office and tell them you want someone there to confirm your identity for citizenship purposes in a year's time. I am sure they would keep a record of your identity and introduce you to a couple of their solicitors (in case one leaves). This would all be for a fee - and there are probably ways to work out how to do this more cheaply. But if you are desperate, consider desperate measures.
